Xiaomi M365 electric scooter Review Why you shouldn't buy a folding bike 

wish i lived in a civilised country with proper bike lanes

I admire how bike friendly Belgium looks.

That's the fun thing about Belgium. It doesn't matter of it's legal or not. Who f*cking cares. It's like a drone. No one actually knows what's legal or not. Just handle the thing responsible, and no one will bat an eye.

I´ve done 1300 km on mine, and it still works like a charm. The folding mechanism is still holding up great!

Electric scooters are a way forward in cities. And yet,the muppets in Irish department of transport want to ban it.

I'm from Belgium and it's so cool to find an belgian review about the scooter !

I have both an e-scooter and an e-bike. Really the difference is just how far you want to go. Inside your town->scooter, between towns->bike. They are both great and you might pick one of both anyway.

It's nice to see how the roads look like elsewhere. So different from what I'm used to. :) Great review. Thanks !I'm waiting for my m365 right now.

Great video im glad to see a fellow M365 owner I have the full version it does 30km and takes 100kg i would highly recommend it its awesome, thats what the manufacturer claims ive done 22km on one charge and i weigh 75kg which is frankly amazing for something with no visible power source. Also you dont get spare tyres with the it, ive no idea why you think that. You really need to buy a solid tyre for the rear as a puncture is super difficult to deal with and that slime stuff doesnt work. Xiaomi bought Segway and in the EU and the US they sell them as segway, the newer versions of them anyway the m365 is 3 years old now.. There is no warranty with xiaomi in the EU, i had a hall sensor issue out the box which i had to fix myself which was a pain. Its a lot more expensive but if you can afford it buy the segway ES2 the m365 is like the 1st attempt and its great but there is a eunos which is the 2nd one and the segway es1 and es2 which are 3rd generation even though these are from different companies its the same factory and engineers and the design is much more refined by then. Id recommend buying that one it also has a range extender battery that attaches to it. the segway ones are much more expensive so if your happy to risk no warranty and safe a fortune ( like half the price) sure get a m365 ( not youth) I waited for a sale and got it for £300. The retail on the es2 is like £549 but it has a much better hinge, a 1 inch suspension which is a huge improvement and a few other improvements for flaws that appear over time. nothing product breaking just 1st gen vs 3rd gen stuff.

Biggest problem with this product is when you get a puncture. Its a nightmare to repair, as its very awkward to take off the wheel and replace.

I remember this was the first video I ever saw about e-scooters back in 2019. I bought my first one and been happy since.

Wat een goede review video. Ik stond juist op punt om mijn aan te kopen . Na deze video krijg ik nog meer zin om de adult versie te kopen . mijn werk is 7 km. Ben benieuwd ! Antwerpen stad!

In Holland, they will send a whole SWAT team and maybe half of the army to arrest you since you are considered a highly wanted criminal for driving such a thing.

I am in same area as you. The streets looked familiar :) I have the m365 full version. It is a great scooter. The only issue is when you run a flat. There are some great YT vids demonstrating step by step how to get the wheel off. (lot of screws) but removing/putting back the tire itself can be a serious pain in the ass. The thing that also proved to be useful is to get one of those bike mounts for your smartphone. That way you can use Waze or whichever nav app you like when you visit a city/area you are not familiar with.

Great video! Especially that you were talking about how it performs in cold weather conditions.

Great review. Thank you. Very tempted by these!

-"only" took 30 days to arrive. -Weight limit is 75Kg -Speed drops to walking pace if conditions are not ideal. -Range is "pretty ok" (8km). -Probably not legal. -Rear break sucks. -Actually costs 460€

These are the same scooters that Bird uses for their shared scooter service here in he states

cool review dude:) very detailed and honest and local:)

Cool om zien dat een Belgische RU-vidr zo'n mooi aantal views haalt voor een tech review!

Great review man, merci! Cheers from Sydney

Great scooter,,, I've had mine for close to 5 months never experienced any issues 😁10/10

Very well explained. I'm buying it soon you've convinced me. New subscriber 👍

zalig eindelijk reviews vanuit belgie (aalst )!!!

"Only 33 days later" wow lol, thats a long ass delivery time.

Had one for about half a year. Things to be cautious about, the tires are almost a pain to change if you have a flat. However you can get conversion tires that are solid (aliexpress), though you do lose a little traction and wouldn't recommend on slippery roads. But it is good alternative since you don't have to worry about punctures or tire pressure. Whatever you do, do not ever drop this scooter, first thing to go is the bell handle (part where it clips down when folded), and the next is the kickstand. These two parts break of very easily and there is no glue strong enough to bond it back together. Feel free to post and I'll answer to the best of my ability. BTW it weighs around closer to 14-15kg. Alright to carry if you're taking taking it out on flat road but you'll regret taking it up and down several flights of stairs daily.

Whatever RU-vids algorithm is doing here. I hope you get more views. You deserve it man.

Great video! Thank you for all the information mate :)

I used to take the same route (Wetteren station to Melle) back in the 90's while in school at similar 20km/h with my not so electric Solex. And then the same road (St Pieters to Holstraat) while at uni.. Weird to see both routes again:) Also, I was in Shenzhen recently and had the exact same bike in my hands wondering if I should buy it!

0:35 nice electric jack hammer you have there

Long live Belgium! Great video, very helpful

Thanks dude Looking at buying one and this was a useful video

Not only you have the same name, you also bought the same scooter and live in the same country. Nice video. The anti-theft feature actually brakes the scooter so you can't just roll it away. Not sure if you have the most recent firmware. There is also a way to increase the power & performance. send me a pm if needed. got 70km's on mine now, but can't wait for summer.

Looks good

hey cheers from Belgium! great review

10/10 on that Miata. I drive a green 99 and you just reassured me that the scooter would fit. Fat thumbs up

I got myself an electric folding bike and it's absolutely amazing. The range of the scooter would not be enough for me and I know for a fact that it wouldn't be legal here in Germany. The bike has a stated range of 70km and if the battery indicator is anywhere near accurate, I can believe that. (Haven't ridden it that far yet) It can also go 25 km/h (often slightly more, actually) and, while it does take slightly longer to fold up, you can still fold it in like 10 seconds. It was a lot more expensive, though, I'll give you that.

Thank you for talking about the weight limit.. (next)

I really like the look of that. i am 46, thinking of using the credit card to obtain one. Great for short 10 km travels. Nice video as well. Well made Great shots of Belgium . i need to visit Antwerp again soon on my Vespa. :-)

The video was great! In Japan, you can't easily ride an Electric scooters yet. The law is troublesome. I'm looking forward to the video! With love from Japan :)

Now you see theme everywhere in Belgium XD !

Nice review and picture quality! Greetings from Russia!

Awesome review, love it to bits.

I had a xootr when I worked in Pyrmont over 10 years ago and ride to and from the train station. Was great on flats. When we changed offices to Surry hill and there was a very steep hill it was useless. This electric scooter looks like it would have possibly been a solution for going uphill.

I had this scooter and battery fuse blew after 200km. Be very careful with emergency braking as this will overload the regenerative braking and blow the fuse. Try stopping as hard as you can from full speed. Will kill the fuse.

There is a shared scooter service in brussels so it should be legal.Espescially because it is similar to e-bikes and only assists you.

Awesome review. Great job!

Great perspective on this lil scooter

6:30 I bet most older police would think it is just a regular non-powered push scooter, and are just wondering how you go so fast... LOL (It doesn't really look like it has a motor or batteries)

It's illegal to ride on the road in Singapore....top speed only allowed at 25kph.....riding on pathway or parkconnector only.

Goeie review en een interessant vervoersmiddel. Alleen ziet het er zo vreemd uit om een volwassen man op een step te zien. Ik denk dat ik dan liever een monowheel zo gebruiken..

Great review, I likey!

I tried to commute to work with a normal Scooter, but that is really too exhausting...

I België is het vanaf 16 jaar legaal om elektrische voertuigen (steps, hoverboards, etc.) tot 25 km/h en brommers tot 25 km/h aan 50cc te besturen zonder rijbewijs :D Voor voertuigen tot 45 km/h heb je rijbewijs AM nodig en is een helm verplicht... Goeie review trouwens ;-)

I thought I recognized that city ;) nice review!

For people from some European countries , sometimes there are offers on Gearbest to deliver the M365 from their GW4 warehouse (Poland) so you dont have to wait 1 month for the usual delivery from China. I ordered mine on a monday and got it delivered the same week on friday (UPS).

I think I'm the only one that said "OH SHIT A MIATA" at the beggining

ah, Belgium and its regulations ... by the way, we are probably train-mates :D I do Mechelen and Ghent.

Thanks for the video! Regards from Peru (:

I have owned 4 e-scooters. They are really useful for short distance commuting(usually around 10km trip) whereby getting onto a public transport is less convenient. Regarding the maintenance issue, all tools require some sort of tuning and maintenance. IF you buy a car, you need to regularly check its performance, the same goes for e-scooters, but they are far less complicated. Some oiling and checking for loose bolts are required if you plan to use them for a long time. A very worthy investment.

What about punctured tires? Heard a lot about those. Any problems so far with the tires?

You live in belgium? I initially thought it was the case just seeing the park at 1:30 then saw a sign for lokeren.

Thank you! Im looking to get one! I like the- you almost look forward to getting to work just to ride it!🤣

I have the regular m365 normal battery and the weight is a bit heavy to lug around, our train service in Canada is decent but commuters still dont like you very much with a scooter on the floor. Its an ongoing reason to bump into you, so it was good to see other travel systems are more friendly towards eco friendly travel. I use the scooter to avoid parking at the train station. I use a push scooter now, razor a5 air, only weighs 5.5 Kg with pneumatic wheels, its a push scooter but better for short range due to the form factor. Thanks for the video and happy scooting.

You have to underline on the title that you're reviewing the "youth" edition and not the standard one. Which is not correct for whose who clik on your video.

Everybody: Can I ride ur scooter? unicorn: No, it could be illegal Everybody: nO ItS IlLEgAL

@UnicornReviews I got one of these for birthday and my car is also a miata. What a coincidence!

Looks so smooth to ride. Need to find a good reason to buy one of these

There is also a Xiaomi ebike its called qicycle. Can you do a review on that one please?

245 seems to be an awesome price, can't find it for under 400.

Really liked the review, 0 bullshit, to the point. Subscribed. Also cool product.

Great review, thanks!

Great video, thanks for sharing. You see more and more people riding these scooters here in Spain. I was once told that for an ebike EU legislation says that it can only have 250W, max 25kph and no throttle. I was told that if I were "caught" riding my e-MTB I would get three fines. One for not wearing a crash helmet, one for not having a number plate and one for not having insurance. My e-MTB is over 250W, has a throttle (as well as pedelec). The throttle means it's classed a "motor" bike, hence the three fines! I usually ride off road, and often disconnect the throttle if I'm in town.

Now I really need one.

This looks like fun! BTW, I heard on 'de inspecteur' that nobody really knows the legalities. They called an importer and someone from the police I believe and nobody could 100% say if you need insurance or a licence plate or not.

Great review - thanks

How well does it handle tram tracks?

It will have the same rights as a bycycle in 2019-2020 with the new trafic code. Question: what if the battery is empty, can you use ut as a standard step ?

Zeer goede video, ik ben ook van Belgie en ben al een tijdje geïnteresseerd in de xiaomi scooter maar heb je geen problemen gehad met douanekosten. Dit is wat mij momenteel tegenhoud.

Great review! Are you going to do a video on the maintenance stuff you mentioned? 😊

Thanks for using metric units

miata and a xiaomi m365 you know what youre doing mate !!! geen douane belastingen ?

Great review thanks

Thx a lot u explained everything I need to know

"The police don't know the regulation of this thing either." LMAO

Ziet er leuk uit.

Great review! I made my decision thanks to your video.

Thanks for your work

Ahh, Youth Edition

I look forward to cycling my folding bike to work each day. I get some exercise and it fits in my car no problem. This scooter just won't be as much fun for me plus zero exercise. And you have to charge the thing up all the time.

"You almost want to go to work just to ride the scooter", I felt that

Great review 👍

I just have one question, where do you put the scooter when you arrive at your location (like school)?

People in Spain use these to get around on the pavement and everywhere. In the UK they are illegal on the streets. Annoying as they cut traffic and pollution.

well-spoken, mr. unicorn

Thank you for this review. That's exactly what I was looking for! Probably I will buy, however I still prefer bikes. Cheers!

It needs some way of using a bike lock, I would get looks if I tried taking it into shops where I live.

Hi, we're a few months later now. Still didn't had any issues with the police?

Nice review. Greeting from Aalst! ;-)

"You almost want to go to work just to ride the scooter" My favorite line of yours coz' you got me there, hahaha!. I'm riding my new Mi 1s for 3 days now and it's really fun riding it to work. My only nightmare would be the flat tire if ever happened. That's why I will order 2 solid tires now just in case I would not wait longer for the tires to come.
